Vegetable Buddha Bowls with Tahini Miso Dressing

Hey guys! Back today with a quick, fun salad recipe for you. Ok, so the salad itself is not a “recipe” (it’s totally customisable to what veggies you want!), but the dressing… this dressing deserves a blog post of its own.

I’ve been on a bit of a miso high recently, I want to put it in EVERYTHING. Turns out, salad dressings are a win.

The creaminess of the tahini mixed with the sharp, saltiness of the miso creates a dressing you’ll just want to pour over everything. It’s perfect on this buddha bowl, which I chose to add some falafel to. This falafel is pretty special in itself, it’s baked so it’s completely oil free, and is kept moist from the addition of sweet potato. However, you can go ahead and add any kind of falafel or protein you like.

So load up this salad with as much of that tahini miso dressing you can fit, and store the rest in the fridge for later!

These mixed vegetable buddha bowls with tahini miso dressing will make you feel good from the inside out!
